VIRUS WARNING!!!

Last night around 10:00, Malware Protection hacked into my computer and locked it up. They seem to be in desperate need of business. It did a 'scan' and showed 42 viruses, which were from Trojan, Worm and Child Porn sites. My computer is locked until I activate their software and buy the protection. PLEASE BEWARE OF MALWARE PROTECTION! I am on a different computer and will be at library later, so if anyone can help me get my computer back, I would appreciate it...Again, BEWARE MALWARE PROTECTION! they use the backdoor and help themselves to your computer.....

I will try to start up in safe mode....not sure how to do that.....talk me thru it.....only a short time here at library....

Good grief...creeper! Hope you get it worked out.

Any luck Rhonda? Sorry this is happening!!

How do you stop them before it starts? Did you click on an ad or something?

I'M BACK!!!!

I did a safe mode start up, then did a system restore......

Marilyn, I was on FB answering a message and right before I finished typing, this Malware popped up and just started scanning my computer....I hadn't clicked on ANYTHING.....it just came in the backdoor and took over....But I now know that safe mode and system restore are my firends......

wow. oh my!..I used norton.(That never happened to be before)

Glad its working now.

Yay!! I'm so glad you're back, Rhonda.

I'm so glad that Safe Mode worked! I would highly recommend installing Malwarebytes, anyway, and running it on a regular basis. It's an amazing program for "killing" malwares, etc.

I didn't have a lot of time to look through that Savannah....is it a FREE program???

Will it work alongside my AVG? Don't need a rumble going on inside my 'puter....

GREAT!! THANKS....

It should. I run both it and Spybot and Microsoft Security Essentials together on my laptop with no troubles.

Actually Rhonda I wouldn't recommend AVG; I had it for a while and it actually missed 2 or 3 viruses.

AVG has always worked great for me and I have never had any problems with it....I downloaded the Malwarebytes and we're good to go....

They're sending a lot of viruses by mail. These people are really scaring. I don't know why they do it, but they keep sending those viruses ...And the worst of it, is that we cannot do almost anything about it...

I'm happy things returned to normality, Rhonda. When we have a system crash, we feel miserable...
